  • War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era
    Social & Demographic Trends October 5, 2011 The Military-Civilian Gap War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT Pew Social & Demographic Trends Tel (202) 419-4372 1615 L St., N.W., Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20036 www.pewsocialtrends.org PREFACE America’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are unique. Never before has this nation been engaged in conflicts for so long. And never before has it waged sustained warfare with so small a share of its population carrying the fight. This report sets out to explore a series of questions that arise from these historical anomalies. It does so on the strength of two nationwide surveys the Pew Research Center conducted in the late summer of 2011, as the 10th anniversary of the start of the war in Afghanistan approached. One survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 1,853 military veterans, including 712 who served on active duty in the period after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The other was among a nationally representative sample of 2,003 American adults. The report compares and contrasts the attitudes of post-9/11 veterans, pre-9/11 veterans and the general public on a wide range of matters, including sacrifice; burden sharing; patriotism; the worth of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the efficiency of the military and the effectiveness of modern military tactics; the best way to fight terrorism; the desirability of a return of the military draft; the nature of America’s place in the world; and the gaps in understanding between the military and civilians.

  • Action Within a Relationship: a Phenomenology of Sacrifice
    Sacrifice – Action within a Relationship: A Phenomenology of Sacrifice Claudia Mariéle Wulf 1 Introduction A young woman had become entangled in drug culture. Nothing had warned her about the consequences of drug abuse for the rest of her life, nor about the effects it was to have on her parents and younger sister. She had closed her- self off from her family and friends, so her mother had no longer any access to her. Her mother prayed. This, however, was not enough. Slowly but surely, the mother began to change. First, she stopped eating what she most enjoyed. It was a silent offering for her daughter, who failed to understand. Instead, the girl replied: “It doesn’t affect me whether you eat what you like or not!”. Then her mother started copying her daughter’s way of dressing. She roamed the streets in old and shabby shoes, she dyed her hair black like her daughter had done, something which was quite alien to herself. Initially, her daughter just laughed at her. Then she fell silent. She knew what it meant to her mother to be a laugh- ing stock for the people, because of her shoddy appearance. When she fully realized that her mother had made these sacrifices in order to show her how close she was to her, her mother’s love touched her and she returned home. Is this the sort of sacrifice we are talking about here? Does sacrifice mean giving up yourself in order to save somebody else? Does it mean offering your- self as a sacrifice to God? Does God want – or even ask for – such sacrifice? The example shows that in order to be meaningful, a sacrifice has to be related to someone: To God, or to another human being.

  • Book Review of Caught: the Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, by Marie Gottschalk
    445 Book Review Marie Gottschalk, Caught: The Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2015, pp. 474, $35.00 Cloth; $24.95 Paper. Reviewed by Shon Hopwood Introduction The American criminal justice system is a mess. It criminalizes too much conduct, disproportionately targets the poor and people of color, and overly relies on incarceration. It has become so immense that millions of Americans are starting to feel its squeeze as its grip fails every demographic of America from crime victims and taxpayers to those it convicts. The system desperately needs to be reexamined before an even larger segment of Americans comes to view the rule of criminal law as a rule of oppression. To their credit, academics can lay claim to being among the first to highlight the carceral state and its causes. A deep body of literature now exists on the mass incarceration crisis,1 and Professor Marie Gottschalk has made an important contribution with her book Caught. Whereas others focused on discrete parts of the carceral state, Gottschalk has meticulously detailed all of it—from the political factors that created the American carceral state to those who have profited from it. No stone is unturned in her quest to comprehensively strip our criminal justice problems bare, and she consistently reminds us of their enormity. Her thesis: The carceral state has grown so massive that it has cut off millions from the American Dream, which Gottschalk defines as “the faith that everyone has an inalienable right to freedom, justice, and equal opportunities to get ahead, and that everyone stands equal before the law” (2).

  • “Anarchists Are More Animal Than Human”: Rationality, Savagery, and the Violence of Property
    “Anarchists Are More Animal than Human”: Rationality, Savagery, and the Violence of Property Benjamin Abbott When I first read Chris Hedges’ now infamous denunciation of “Black Bloc anarchists” in the Occupy Wall Street movement, I felt as if I had stepped back in time to the turn of the twentieth century. Hedges’ charges of senseless aggression motivated by primal passions and bent only on universal destruction would fit seamlessly into an 1894 issue of the New York Herald-Tribune or Los Angeles Times. However, as Doreen Massey reminds us, such attempts to assign contemporaries to the past denies how we share space in the world and implies belief in a teleological narrative of progress. Invoking tropes of animality to rhetorically construct political opponents as – to use Chandan Reddy's words – “the enemies of modern political society” remains a key persuasive strategy as well as an enduring technology of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism here in the twenty-first century. Even a cursory look at language of the war on terror and its production of the Islamic terrorist as national bête noire demonstrates this. Though I would like to simply dismiss Hedges’ anti-anarchist piece as an anomalous echo of discredited reactionary hyperbole, I instead interpret it as representative of a thriving modern phenomenon. The Occupy Wall Street movement has prompted a proliferation and reemphasis of the preexisting discourse of anarchists as the inhuman and unreasonably violent enemies of humanity.1 This essay takes the Hedges article as a point of departure to explore earlier expressions of this discourse specifically through the lens of property.

Sacrifice is an ancient and powerful idea, rich with contradictions. These days it can seem ubiquitous: from the rhetorical mobilizations of one war after the other, to the ideological pressures of austerity, to the “necessary” disruptions of life in neoliberal democracies, to the urgent adjustments demanded (and ignored) for a changing climate.

SACRIFICE AND SACRED HONOR: WHY THE CONSTITUTION IS A "SUICIDE PACT" Peter Brandon Bayer* ABSTRACT Most legal scholars and elected officials embrace the popular clich6 that "the Constitution is not a suicide pact." Typically, those commentators extol the "Constitution of necessity," the supposition that Government, essentially the Executive, may take any action-may abridge or deny any fundamental right-to alleviate a sufficiently serious national security threat. The "Constitution of necessity" is wrong. This Article explains that strict devotion to the "fundamental fairness" prin- ciples of the Constitution's Due Process Clauses is America's utmost legal and moral duty, surpassing all other considerations, even safety, security and survival. The analysis begins with the most basic premises: the definition of morality and why nations must be moral. This Article defends deontology: the philosophy that because moral principles are a priori, they must be obeyed regardless of terrible outcomes.

However, an aspect of his art that sometimes escapes attention is his fascination with his father's generation, the people involved in the forging of the Irish Republic, a period that features in his fiction to a significant degree, perhaps to the extent of overshadowing the Ireland of his own time. In this article, I wish to show the way in which the Irish War oflndependence casts a major shadow over many ofMcGahern's characters who are veterans of the fight to end British colonial rule in Ireland.
